  • Producers officially relaunched the film under the title Aabeer Gulaal after original promotional materials and soundtrack were pulled from Indian platforms.
  • Industry unions FWICE and AICWA imposed a ban on Pakistani artists following the April Pahalgam attack, blocking the film’s planned India release.
